If you chose to contribute articles or blog  entries to the Gene Therapy Review we will upgrate your account to  AUTHOR status after registration, entitling you to edit your own  content. Articles will also be published in our <a title=\"Gene Therapy Review Journal\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.createspace.com\/Customer\/EStore.do?id=3392261\">print edition<\/a>,  which is published four times a year and is edited by Dr Michael L.  Roberts who has more than 15 years experience developing various gene  transfer vector systems<\/p><p>If you contribute more than ten articles or blog entries then you may  apply for EDITOR status, allowing you to help maintain a section of the  Gene Therapy Review. Successful applications depend on the quality of  the articles submitted and your experience in the section of interest.  For more information on sections please <a title=\"Contact the Gene Therapy Review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.genetherapyreview.com\/jupgrade\/index.php?option=com_contact&amp;view=contact&amp;catid=56:administration&amp;id=1-webmaster\">contact us<\/a>.<\/p><p>Finally, we would like to encourage all users to promote the Gene  Therapy Review and their contributions by adding the following line to  their email signatures:<\/p><p>Member of the Gene Therapy Review: A free genetics educational resource - <a href=\"http:\/\/www.genetherapyreview.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.genetherapyreview.com<\/a><\/p><p>As users progress through the levels of membership they may update  this signature to reflect their status. We hope that this will help  raise awareness of the Gene Therapy Review and hence promote your own  contributions and the profile of our resource as a whole.<\/p><p>Please also ensure that your profile details are up-to-date. You can  access and edit your profile page after you register and log in using  the links in the <strong>User Menu<\/strong> on the left-hand side of each page.<\/p><div>At present the Gene Therapy Review comprises the following features:<\/div><p><strong><span>Gene Therapy News<\/span><\/strong>:  All the breaking news in the gene therapy arena can be found in our  news pages. You can read how the latest research will likely impact on  the field in analysis. For those seeking employment in the sector, we  have established a job bulletin board, where academics are invited to  advertise for free.<\/p><p><span><strong>Gene Therapy Research<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> <\/span>We  provide links to the home pages of all the academic research groups  devoted to human genetics, gene therapy and stem cell research. In the  companies section we detail the status of private sector DNA research.  You can also follow their progress in our literature section where all  the latest genetic engineering articles are listed<\/p><p><span><strong>Gene Therapy Companies<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong> <\/span>We  review the companies that are developing new gene transfer technologies  and list the service providers that offer contract manufacturing or  contract research to the field. Information on genetic disorders, cancer  and infectious disease (current targets of gene therapy research) is  also provided, with links to further reading on each topic.<\/p><p><span><strong>Gene Transfer Vectors<\/strong>: <\/span>Our  gene vector pages to learn more about gene transfer into human cells.  We describe all the current techniques used for gene delivery. Our  technical pages also serve as a source for all commerical gene transfer  vectors. These pages have links to plasmid maps, DNA sequences and  manuals.<\/p><p><span><strong>Gene Therapy Clinical Trials<\/strong>: <\/span>Our  clinical trial section contains a database containing all the published  results from current and past clinical trials. For those considering  enrolling in a clinical trial, a list of patient resources is also  provided where we focus on genetic disorders, cancer and infectious  disease. The regulatory pages provide links to the interational bodies  that control clinical trial research.<\/p><p><span><strong>Gene Therapy Literature<\/strong>: <\/span>Our  literature section contains analysis of the latest articles published  in the leading gene therapy journals. You can also search pubmed from  this section. Activities of the various gene therapy societies are  listed and we provide a calender of all the annual international  scientific congresses focussing on human genetics.<\/p><p>We hope you find our site useful and encourage you to <a title=\"Contact the Gene Therapy Review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.genetherapyreview.com\/jupgrade\/index.php?option=com_contact&amp;view=contact&amp;catid=56:administration&amp;id=1-webmaster\">leave comments<\/a> as to how we can improve.<\/p><p>Warmest Regards,<\/p><p><em>The Editorial Team<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We welcome you to the Gene Therapy Review and would like to encourage you to contribute to our online resource.The site was founded in 2008 with a view to establishing the most comprehensive gene therapy resource on the web, with &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/gene-therapy\/welcome-to-the-gene-therapy-review.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gene-therapy"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35331"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35331\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
